MAX3233ECWP+G36

Overview

The MAX3233ECWP+G36 is a dual RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 3.6 V and supports data rates up to 250 kb/s. The device features two drivers and two receivers in full-duplex mode, housed in a 20-SOIC package. It includes internal capacitors for charge pump functionality and offers 15 kV ESD protection. The component functions with a shutdown feature and maintains an operating current of 1 mA across temperatures from 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual RS-232 transceivers with built-in charge pump capacitors
• Provides robust 15 kV electrostatic discharge protection on all pins
• Supports low-power operation through an active shutdown control mode

Applications

• Industrial communication systems requiring RS-232 connectivity
• Portable equipment utilizing single-supply battery power
• Modem and peripheral interface circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix G36 against official manufacturer documentation to confirm compliance status and packaging details. Confirm availability as this part may be subject to obsolescence notices. Cross-reference the exact ordering number with authorized distributors to ensure authenticity and traceability before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring dual RS-232 channels with integrated capacitors to minimize external BOM count. Ensure the application environment stays within the commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. Verify that the 3 V to 3.6 V supply voltage aligns with the system power architecture.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX3233E series of dual RS-232 transceivers. It shares functional similarities with other members like the MAX3233EEWP but differs in temperature rating and suffix specifications. The series is designed for low-power, single-supply applications replacing traditional multi-voltage RS-232 solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official datasheet for pin-compatible alternatives within the MAX323x family. Verify electrical parameters such as data rate and voltage range match the original design requirements before substituting.
